What is your favourite London thing, and what is most London about it?

What does London mean to you?

I'm particularly enjoying the rise of knife crime, it has its victims sure, but they're often limited to people involved in absolute scummery therefore cleaning up the streets for us working folk

The absolute silence on the Tube, no one talking to each other. In other parts of the country this is really quite bizarre but in London it makes sense.

My favourite thing about London is that there's so much going on and there's so much to do. The worst is how busy it is and slow walking pedestrians.

I love the history of London. Few cities on earth can compare to its rich yet understated architecture. I'm glad it doesn't do grand boulevards like Paris or Vienna.

I like the architectural history and variety. I’ve swallowed and memorised three successive editions of Pevsner’s city and westminster.

The way people dress (outside of the Square Mile). I was back in London for w weekend to see a few exhibitions and sitting on a bench outside the V&A and seeing just how differently everyone dresses to one another, whether they be Londoners at art school or European tourists. You really do realise how tedious provincial normcore is.

If variety is the spice of life than London is the greatest garam masala in the world

TB where did you live in Harringay? Did you drink at the Salisbury Hotel?!

I love Harringay!

I'm going with London Night's Out....specifically house parties.

Never seen anything like it in any other city for

My favourite view is from the Hungerford Bridge. The curve of the river and all those buildings all seemingly laid out in a row in front of you. London is a great City for just wandering about...
